Oden as Karl Malone pt II the revenge? He would be such a mismatch at the four, but as said elsewhere Okafor and Oden would probably have the chemistry of a Harrison Ford/Anne Heche film.
Apparently Deng to Portland was just Denny Crane liquored up and trolling the Oregonlive forum after a night on the town with HCP and Beerboy.
If that actually happens then I'll do backfli ... scratch that. If that actually happens then I'll crack open a couple of cold ones and drink them really fast.
That's sorta anti-climactic Nik. Doing the same ritual you start every day at 11am, I mean break up the routine man!
LOL, I'm Scotts-Irish myself . My family motto which I shan't share lest I give away my identity (PapaG has convinced me of stalker danger ) would be a perfect Trail Blazers team motto actually.
It could be. But given such "rumors" in the past, it's probably not. Like 99% not. And the Olive poster had it before ESPN Radio said that the OREGONIAN had reported it. Most likely, it was a Chicago radio dude over-zealously misreporting a rumor as substantial.

So this is the idiot who thought a rumor posted by an OREGONLIVE.COM forum member claiming to be an "insider" as a report from the Oregonian. Nice.
CP3 + Okafor = $27M out (CP3 contract increases, too) Deng = $11.5M in = $15.5M savings That's first year... add up CP3 + Okafor remaining contract minus Deng's and they save ~65M
Y'all are making this whole 3-way trade thing too complicated: CHI: OUT--Deng IN--Rudy, Miller NOH: OUT--Paul, Okafor IN--Joel, Camby, Deng, Bayless POR: OUT--Joel, Camby, Miller, Rudy, Bayless IN--Paul, Okafor, NBA Title Done and done.
